Math Problem Statement

Solve for y, sketch, and apply the domain: y = 8, x ∈ {-5, -1.5, 6, 10}

Solution

The problem in the image asks you to:

  • Solve for yy,
  • Sketch the graph,
  • Apply the given domain, x{5,1.5,6,10}x \in \{-5, -1.5, 6, 10\}.

Step 1: Solve for yy

The equation is already given as y=8y = 8. This is a horizontal line where the value of yy remains constant at 8 for any value of xx.

Step 2: Apply the Domain

The domain provided is a set of specific xx-values: x=5,1.5,6,10x = -5, -1.5, 6, 10. For each of these values of xx, the corresponding yy-value is always 8.

So the points you will plot are:

  • (5,8)(-5, 8)
  • (1.5,8)(-1.5, 8)
  • (6,8)(6, 8)
  • (10,8)(10, 8)

Step 3: Sketch the Graph

Since the equation is y=8y = 8, plot a horizontal line passing through y=8y = 8. Then, mark the points where xx takes the values 5,1.5,6,10-5, -1.5, 6, 10 and yy is always 8.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is the significance of a horizontal line on a graph?
  2. How do you determine the range when given a horizontal line equation?
  3. What happens to the graph if the value of yy changes?
  4. How would the graph change if you had a vertical line instead?
  5. How do you calculate the slope of a horizontal line?

Tip: A horizontal line has a slope of 0 since the value of yy remains constant, no matter the value of xx.
